Project to combine:

*Inclusive faith-based organization that works with political leaders to address hunger across the globe to help combat poverty and the issues that accompany it. “Bread

for the World members write personal letters and emails and meet with our members of Congress. Working through our churches, campuses, and other organizations, we engage more people in advocacy.”http://www.bread.org/about-us/

The 1,000 days from pregnancy through a child’s second birthday are the most crucial for a child’s development. But many women around the world don’t have access to proper nutrition for themselves or their children. Without adequate nutrition during this critical period, children suffer permanent cognitive and physical delays.

The Goals seek to improve nutrition, eradicate hunger, improve maternal health, and reduce child mortality by improving nutrition for women and children during this critical 1,000-day window. We are also calling on the U.S. government to support the 16 million children in the United States who are at risk of hunger.
